Thanks for all the input...

I tried the render again, didnt bother my machine for 3 plus days, and when i checked the render, it was frozen at 48.4%, typical for where this render usually stops (thats why I havent responed as yet)...

I render at that size because I print at that size. I dont believe or trust software to boost size, I am patient enough to wait for my renders (I have been doing this for a while you see, no problems w/ Bryce) and yes, sometimes a week or more. Necessary or not, if I want to produce output at that size, Carrara should do it, regardless...

My system has 2GB of memory, if thats not enough for what I do, Houston, we have a problem. So I guess Ill try the batch que. If this fails now..................................................
